Value = 3-5x annual burn

Your company’s annual value creation (valuation at the end of the year minus valuation at the start of the year) should be a multiple of the cash your company has consumed during the year.

..

I think annual value creation should produce a 3-5x return on annual burn. That feels like a good solid range to me.
